Overview

The Sam Houston State University bachelor’s degree in education prepares students for Texas Teacher Certification and work as a teacher in the classroom. Students choose their certification track based on their chosen grade level and/or the subject area they plan to teach. The Sam Houston State University accelerated advanced degree program, 4+1, allows students to jumpstart their career by completing a master’s degree alongside their bachelor’s. In place of traditional student teaching, most students take part in the Sam Houston State University Yearlong Clinical Teaching experience. Many partner districts offer competitive paid internships that provide both mentorship and valuable classroom experience. Student teaching is an important part of students’ preparation for their own classroom. The Sam Houston State University Yearlong Clinical Teaching experience bridges the gap between theory and practice. With a full year of hands-on field experience, professional development, and support from mentors, students are thoroughly prepared for their first teaching position. The Sam Houston State University bachelor’s degree in education offers several certification tracks for students to choose from. A student’s certification track determines their specific course of study and prepares them for certification testing at the end of their program. Students choose the age group they want to work with (PreK-3rd grade, Early childhood – 6th grade, 4th-8th grade, or high school), or choose a subject they are passionate about and select from the offered tracks. Some tracks require a double-major; others require students to major in their chosen field with teacher certification. Each program is carefully designed to help students succeed in their own classroom. Additional certifications can be added to the Sam Houston State University bachelor’s degree in education to help students reach their goals. Many school districts offer additional pay for teachers certified in high-need areas such as special education and bilingual education.
